Idania Dalila

Idania is a 23-year-old single mother. She lives with her son and her mother in a neighborhood in the city of San Pedro Sula.

Idania has a small store that she established two years ago with her own capital. She sells snack foods, beans, rice, groceries, and other items. Idania feels obligated to have a source of income since she does not receive support from the father of her child. She is a very enterprising person and believes that her business is gradually improving.

Idania is requesting her first loan from ODEF in the amount of 4,300 HNL so that she can invest in her business. She will buy soft drinks, snack foods, eggs, and other products. The investment will increase the earnings generated from her business. Her goal is to provide her son with stability and the necessary education.
